Favorite Wings Quotes

Dunno if it's already been mentioned, but first time I heard Lowell's comments after eating what he thought were marshmallows, but were in fact toadstools, I nearly died. My gf at the time, now wife, literally had to put an ice pack on my face because it was so red from laughing so hard.

"I thought marshmallows didn't have stems."

"Could someone please help me pick up my fingers?"

Socks up boss!

Brian and Casey are discussing having a surprise party for Joe and Helen. Brian says that he always springs for the 10 footer.
She tells Brian that they are not having a big sandwich at the party.
She wants a fancy room with a case of champagne and a fancy chef.
He says and the big sandwich.
She tells him that we are not having the big sandwich.
He responds back by saying
"This is Nantucket... it's not San Fransico... we are a simple people... we fish our waters... we till our lands... we eat a big sandwich!"

Helen to Brian's old flying friend...
"For a moment there I thought you and I were gonna grow old together... but you got old real quick!"

"Also, to whoever mentioned the Trivial Pursuit/ Ann Margret quote... I love that part when the answer is Ann Margret and Roy refuses to answer that, even though it's right. "


Instead he answers "Ida Lupino!"

Every since seeing the trivial pursuit eppy....I tell my 12 year old daughter all the time when she whines:


Roy to Brian (after he tells him he's Lowell's new partner)

LIFE'S HARD....SUCK IT UP

She hates when I tell her that. She can thank Roy for that one LOL

ANN MARGRET!!!

that whole entire end of the Trivial Pursuit ep made me a fan of the show. I had never been a particular fan of the show until I just happened to catch that ep on Nick at Nite back in may of '04 while eating dinner (had been working the late shift at my old job, a movie theater and didn't get back till after 3 damn you sold out star wars showings!) but in my search of anything to watch on tv, i said all right its nick at nite or bad movie, and i got wings and this ep, and it was seriously what i needed after dealing with star wars fanatics all day. from then on, i made sure to set my vcr so i could catch em nightly. good show, watched the entire run thru twice over. sometimes i manage to catch one here or there on tvland, although i don't make a point of taping em nightly anymore since i saw em all. i liked it, but its no simpsons or seinfeld or even taxi (or newsradio) where i feel i can watch em all again endlessly, but it was really really nice to have a show i can run with the whole way thru. much better show then i ever expected it to be from the few times i'd seen it before previously.

Primetime today needs more sitcoms, so that years from now, they can have reruns of more shows, that the channels can show so that we can watch and discover how good they were. ITs annoying, if they don;t managed to come up with sitcoms to run, there's not gonna be new reruns, and we're gonna be stuck with the same reruns of the reruns we have now. that's not a bad thing per se, but i always enjoy stumbling and sunsequently getting hooked on a new show. its a great feeling, and one i wish i could discover more, if only the nets could stick with one show long enough these days.

Becker was such a show, that's another one I stumbled across in reruns a few years ago i never watched when it was on, and highly enjoyed goin through the run of, very enjoyable. i remember when it was on, and people (moslt smartass entertainment weekly columnists were asking why is this show on or popular or saying the only reason it was on was cause it came on after raymond, it was really funny on its own, always felt is i hadn;t read that, i might have tried it sooner. don't believe what you read, watch shows for youself and decide if they;'re good or not! end of rant!)

ok, wings was A-OK in my book, i'd fly Sandpiper again anytime!

"Should we take her up for a spin."

"Really? What am I talking about, you're Ace Galvin, one of the most famous pilots in the world. You can fly anything."

"Not since the accident. See, I sorta' borrowed an F-16 Tomcat and ended up settin' her down in Dollywood. The moral of the story is, never let a hooker be your navigator."

"Can I quote ya'?

I'm not sure if this was mentioned yet, but love this exchange.


Roy: "Lowell, please take Mr. Mortenson's bag out to the plane."
Lowell: "My pleasure."
Lowell: "Right this way, ma'am."



Blake(Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross): "Coffee is for closers."

I've had such a blast reading through these quotes, but there's a couple I can't believe no one's posted yet.

Roy:Party's at Joe's house, be there or be stupid. (Pause) Lowell, you can be both.

Casey:Maybe we should get Joe and Helen a welcome home gift.
Brian:Sweetheart, we already gave them a welcome home gift. WE BURNED THEIR HOUSE DOWN!!!

That last one may not be exact, but it's classic. Ugh, can't wait for the whole series to be on DVD!
